Amongst many conservatives, racism was already dead. One of my best friends, who absolutely despises Obama, is also sick of the GOP and voted Keyes. Not because he's black, or in spite of it, but because he believes in the Constitution (which the Rs and the Ds demonstrably do not).
Anyway, it's a cool and evocative picture, and I look forward to watching global reactions unfold over the coming months. I hope things turn out well enough for him that in the far future we see more than postage stamps. Maybe some day the $20 bill can be relieved of its burden of that old Cherokee-killer Jackson.
Well, crap, Annie. Don kind of spoiled the mood for me, and I've had such a raging hard-on, too. In fact, I've had this hard-on for well over four hours, and I was getting ready to call the 800 number, but then I thought, "hell, I'll call the plumber instead."
HA! I teach...3 year olds. Yesterday, I spoke about what a president is and showed a poster of all the presidents...I read their names too. We noted not only did they all look pretty much alike but that there were lots of Johns and Williams and James.
Today, I glued Obama's picture and added his name to the poster...( looks just like your picture). The kids immediately noticed and knew who the President Elect is. Change has come!
Pretty effin awesome! I'm also kinda chuffed that Obama chose a Jewish guy for his chief of staff. Let's see some females in there, too -- NOT that they should be picked because of bla bla, but surely there will be some very qualified.
Sorry I spoiled a good hard-on. I've never actually wanted to do that.
I wrote and then deleted the rest of this comment because, I dunno, I get serious and go and think when everyone else still wants to party. No wonder high school sucked, huh. :)

"All men are created equal" ...a little easier to believe that we believe it
It was with awe to see indy-anna pull it out and turn a bit blue!
Sadly, if you hear any locals talking or local radio, the "end is near" despite what most open minded thinkers, think! ; (
